Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:

This will of course differ from player to player
I ‘Hope’ it will be a long time resident in my collection it was in my previous collection I like diversity
2 flippers
4 flippers
Ramps / Side Ramps pure geometry
Each game with Their own flavor
I own 7 pins so I see it as if I lose interest I walk away and rediscover the love again in time
The Lyman Sheats (RIP) addition will just be a nice bonus to change it up some
The layout is no different then what you find today
Fan layout - ish with X shots for a reaction
I enjoyed the first CC I owned and welcome CCLE when it arrives

Quoted from EZ-Rhino:

Any way folks with early build dates (i.e., March 2022) can ask CGC for the thicker standoffs. I am fortunate that my machine decals still appear intact but I'd rather have the thicker ones... Thoughts?

Quoted from PtownPin:

We know that....sounds like 20-30 per week ...so another 6-8 months sounds about right

Quoted from SimplePin:

After a week of ownership one of the drop targets is popping up and then immediately going back down. Reading the FAQ implies that the spring may be too tight but I wonder if that was the case wouldn't this have been happening immediately or is the result of the "loosening" up? Needless to say this ruins quick draw and gunfight mode. You always get the award.

Quoted from Golgotha:

In my daily review of collected example pictures. The one attached is my current desktop background. Ok, maybe I need therapy, but it helps pass the waiting time looking at pictures and enjoying unboxing videos while I wait for my own LE. In researching more about the amazing Lyman Sheats, I recently noticed something really cool on the attached picture. If you look in the lower right of the picture you see a Cactus Canyon SE game being worked on. The cool thing is the display shows "CODE CHAMPION" and then the Initials "LFS". It literally gave me goosebumps. What a cool thing is that! Now that brings me to my question. What is going on to display that? More just curious. I love easter eggs. Anybody know?

Quoted from Beechwood:

Because I'm not arguing, just pointing out a fact.
In other news, I am seriously wanting this game. It looks amazing. And while the topper looks great, I don't think it will add enough enjoyment to justify the price. This hobby is is getting to be caviar and crackers!

Quoted from Mundy53:

That’s good to know. Phrasing made it sound that you had to order the glass through the distributor you got your game from.

Quoted from LTG:

Yes. So the slightest ball hit triggers it, yet vibration doesn't.
I'd turn the game off, lower that leaf blade switch from below the playfield. Adjust/bend the leaf blades as close to the fiberboard spacers as you can. That way they stay put.
A tweak or two and you'll get it working real good.
LTG : )

Quoted from MrSanRamon:

My distributor has gotten about 6 LEs so far and they haven't gotten my numbered game (034) yet.
But I'd like to ask, has anyone gotten S/N 034?
I'm not sure that this number matching is going to work out for me. And I don't want to be waiting for a game that someone else has already.
Thanks.

Quoted from SimplePin:

I'm fairly certain that I installed #34 at Lost Rhino Brewery in Ashburn, VA the week before Christmas. I'll check when I got there today and report back.

Quoted from midcoastsurf:

If the LE is better than the SE, then I'm going to bet it's a resounding YES!

Quoted from NightTrain:

Is anyone else thoroughly confused by CGCs choice to not powder coat the shooter housing on the LE. Sticks out like a sore thumb. I can live with the coin door, but this looks like crap.
[quoted image]

Quoted from midcoastsurf:

What's the difference between this and regular chrome? I can't tell.

Quoted from NightTrain:

Yeah I don’t get it either. Hard to tell from the picture too.

Quoted from beltking:

This is email from cgc
I am glad that you received your CCr-LE game.
Your game did arrive correctly to you. It is supposed to have the Chrome
Shooter housing as well as the metal ball on the end of the shooter knob.
I did look at the photographs that are listed, and want to apologize as the
shooter housing appears to have been darker in the picture.
That was never shown on the game, and wasn't even in the prototypes.
Should you want to get your shooter housing powder coated, please reach out
to your dealer, and see if they can assist you in that.

Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:

I bet the sling leaf switch needs to be adjusted. The sling right below the 2 pop bumpers.

Quoted from staceyflip:

Received and installed the mirrored back glass for my CCRLE #208. LOVE IT! Turned up flipper power and that makes a HUGE difference. Now I just need to get the beer mug adjusted better, figure out the switch 71 problem, fix the lockdown bar issue. FUN pin! The shootout modes are special, Bionic Bart, topper.

Quoted from MrSanRamon:

Swapped from the factory?
Robert

Quoted from MrSanRamon:

Tomorrow UPS is going to deliver my mirrored backglass!
Robert

Quoted from Pinball_Eddie:

Got my mirrored back glass today and knocker supplies thanks to Sara from PPS and the harness thanks to P1nhead, so I’m all set. Looking like SE+ is gonna be a while based on that PPS email today about LE’s, so time to put up these upgrades and other mods and be surprised when I get the notification. Always prefer sooner vs. later but I know this will be worth the wait.
Happy to see LE owners getting their machines.
Have a great and safe week everyone.

Quoted from Only_Pinball:

It fits just fine with the existing edging. Looks awesome, you will love it.

Quoted from marioparty34:

Edit: I figured out the knocker should not go off for extra ball and screen showing 'knocker - not used' is normal.

Quoted from marioparty34:

Neither of my knockers go off on an extra ball. I tested it today. I disconnected my physical knocker and turned on the fake one. When I got my extra ball, the knocker did not go off. But both knockers will go off when I get replay or when I set a high score.
Is there a setting I am missing?

Quoted from LTG:

Doesn't knock for extra balls.
LTG : )

Quoted from LTG:

No idea why yours does. Only one I've heard of.
Does make me wonder if maybe a setting like free play or coin play ?
LTG : )

Quoted from Pinball_Eddie:

Doubt there’s any connection, but I know on my Funhouse, if you select the option to award an extra ball for the replay score award, it will then knock for the regular extra ball awards, otherwise if you have the replay score award set to default value of replay, then the same extra ball awards won’t knock.
Again, doubt there’s a connection, but the only example of where one person’s extra ball will knock while another one’s won’t.

Quoted from Damonator:

Yes, that's it. It knocks on replay - and you have your game set to award an Extra Ball on replay. It won't knock from earning a ruleset extra ball.

Quoted from SimplePin:

It does knock on all extra balls.

Quoted from Golgotha:

$600 from Chicago to Evansville, IN 350 miles
$550 from Chicago to San Ramon CA, 1,833 miles
They have a word for that robbery! You would think shipping is determined more by distance.

Quoted from midcoastsurf:

MMr and PF's on the line in 2H '23 is my hope...and of course that all CCrLE's have shipped by end of 1H '23

Quoted from GCS2000:

yeah but gameplay and feature wise nothing different.
As I recall when MMR, AFMR, and MBR came out the SE model was missing important things like RGB lighting (or so I thought) and I just assumed CCR was the same. Again I could be wrong.
I may be able to do a regular SE model then since LEs are out of my budget.

Quoted from GCS2000:

Thanks hoping to find a decent deal on an SE then and save the money. I can yearn for a topper while I play the game, lol.

Quoted from Jnuch:

Hey pinsiders- Received this early version of the barrel cup yesterday. Looks great and nice quality. Thank you again. Perfect!

[quoted image]

Quoted from GCS2000:

Very dumb question does CCRSE (not LE) have a service outlet in the bottom of the cabinet so I can plug something into it (a 110v to 12v converter so I can plug in an LED lighted cup is all).

Quoted from northvibe:

You need a wms whip that converts the plug to a 110 outlet style

Quoted from Teknotoyz:

Knocker installed in a Cactus Canyon LE
Simple plug & play, holes were already drilled!!
(Even for the knocker plate)
This was too easy to do, and cheap at $30.
The harness plugs into the “Knock” connector and it just works, turn off the knocker sound so they don’t both happen.

Quoted from Scoot:

Is there knocker integration other than replay? It would be cool to have it fire off when shooting a bad guy in quickdraw or the like.

Quoted from spidey:

I'm having trouble with drop targets not dropping on direct hits. Had the same issue on Bond and stretched the target springs to add more tension and that solved it there, so I'll do the same here and report back.

Quoted from Yoko2una:

My left Bad Guy standup just started instantly awarding and dropping during the Gun Fight pop-up sequence. As long as the left Bad Guy isn't the 4th guy (the one you ultimately have to hit), when it comes up in the first 3 pop ups, it immediately falls back down and awards the Gun Fight.
Do you think this is a spring issue or a switch issue? Again, if the left Bad Guy is the 4th, no issues. Only if it's one of the 3 fake outs does this happen.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Use lube for that.....

Quoted from Scoot:

I have it figured out. You do have to have replay award set to extra ball but at least on my machine, I have to set special award to either points or extra ball in order for extra ball to fire the knocker.

Quoted from GCS2000:

There is always some leftover parts when they put it together - its just spares

Quoted from PinDeadHead:

The culprit.[quoted image]

Quoted from TonyP66:

#501 in the house! as with the other 2 machines had to remove the head to get it into the basement. First DMD game for me and she is a beaut clark!! Right now have her in a different spot than EBD and High Speed as only part of the basement has high enough ceilings. It is so close though so I might try moving her later. For now she just screams play me. It may have taken longer than expected but what a solid build, well done CGC!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from paynemic:

Just installed the pbl knocker kit and mirrored backglass. 15 minutes of install for nice reward. No knocker plate in the kit. Is it a bad idea to fire against the wood? And man is it loud!!

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

Nice! Keep cranking those games out. Need to make that October Pulp Fiction deadline. Ha ha. And MMr…… and TZr!!!!!

Quoted from GCS2000:

Yeah its a downside to the cupholder pucks and the buttons as they are more orangy than yellow but they still look good.
We are very happy with our game as well as the GZ pre we just got. Getting lots of play right now.

Quoted from Jagrmaister:

Had it Week and a half. No more mods for this one. Came with the translite, art blades, shaker, and track mod. I swapped out some of the rubbers, added plastic protectors, knocker, illuminated flipper buttons (which I do wish were more yellow/gold instead of amber but it works), and picked up a sheet of Invisiglass today. Call it and my GZ done! Time to start saving for the next pin.

Saturday … cmon man …
[quoted image]

Quoted from lepstein:

Was going to ask if people felt the extra money for a mirrored backglass was worth it for a CCr SE. Sounds like maybe so - people seem to really like it compared to standard translite.
Thinking we will do train tracks mod, mirrored backglass, and the upgraded code kit (whenever it’s ready) and hope to have a classic for a long time.
Usually we don’t mod much but hope these will keep their value if we ever decide to trade years down the line

Quoted from undrdog:

Please post a good picture of the mirrored bg. So far the publicity pics I’ve seen make it hard to tell where the mirroring is, besides the puddles. Or is that it?

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Female Bart.

Quoted from Mully911:

Who is the girl bandelero pictured in the back glass art? Is she part of the game?
[quoted image]

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Female Bart.

Quoted from SimplePin:

Hopefully they add her with the new code.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

That would be really cool!

Quoted from gjm7777:

I keep seeing people saying this game is easy and almost every time it's because all of the settings are toggled beyond easy, outlanes as closed as possible, with 5+ balls.
GCG really needs to change how these things are shipping out from factory.

Quoted from atrainn:

For a game I never had any plans of picking up CCr has grown on me a lot very quickly. I'm loving it.

Quoted from MachineGunGuy:

The original by which I mean the one they include with CCr, not the original CC, is a piece of clear glass with a printed piece of essentially thick paper you put behind the glass. The limited mirrored back glass option was actually silkscreened on the glass. The whole paper thing surprised me. It looked ok, but its not the same as a translite were the graphics are on the glass.

Quoted from dog:

Good explanation
Champion Pub was the last original that included a back glass as standard and I think NGG also, Just before CC original.

Quoted from Indypin:

Hey fellas, just a quick question.
I’m hardly getting any action in the pop bumper area. Is there something in the menu where I adjust the pop bumper strength to be a little more sensitive? Where is it in the menu section?
And please keep the Viagra jokes to a minimum.

Quoted from Indypin:

I’m a dumb bunny because I’ve never heard of a switch gap tool. It sounds like it would fix my issue.

Quoted from Mollymauk:

If it makes anyone feel better, all my other high scores are in the 700 million range. Getting high noon even a 2nd time is pretty rare for me. That game was a true outlier that obliterated my prior high score by 500 million. I'd be shocked if I was ever able to repeat that.

Quoted from HomerEBW:

Hello, I'm looking for a Cactus Canyon Remake SE, preferably new in box or low plays around the Milwaukee/Chicago area. Please PM me if you are selling. I'm willing to pick up, depending on location.

Quoted from Jagrmaister:

Spooky kit absolutely works great. Wife still tells me every time it goes off that it is too loud, ridiculous, and doesn't think it should be making that sound.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Same here. Wife hates it !
The knocker is DEFINITELY staying, I love it!

Quoted from TooMetal:

Howdy Partners,
For anyone like me who is still waiting for their CCr LE, I just got a message from my distributor stating that CGC is awaiting the arrival of components to complete the Limited Editions and that they are not expected to have any more LEs ready to ship until mid-August. I am still holding out some hope that I might get it within 2 years after I ordered it, but it's gonna be close.
I wonder if there will be an announcement from CGC soon about the game they are going to make after Pulp Fiction? It seems like it's about time for them to do that so we know what might be available in late 2025 or early 2026 when they finish making the Pulp Fictions.

Quoted from skywalker:

Quoted from ExSquid:

Also is something supposed to be connected to all 3 parts of this?
I don’t see anything hanging around that would go there.
[quoted image]

Quoted from ExSquid:

It was this dirty rotten son of a B the whole time. I unplugged this last night along with a bunch of other things. And nothing worked. But when I got home from work today I decided before I do all the “ weird stuff” list. I’ll try again. I had the game on and the shooter lane switch still wasn’t working . I unplugged this and put it back in and BINGO! I’ll never understand it, it’s almost embarrassing ,but thanks for all the help and suggestions guys.[quoted image]

Quoted from HighSpeed1:

Not needed on my CCR, one day maybe, but other games have been treated to some Deoxit...Expansion and contraction from heat cycles on the older games more-so can cause connection issues.

By the way, how is s/n 034 doing?

Quoted from Only_Pinball:

Absolutely. Lots of us have both.

Quoted from GranpaDave:

Just received my PinMonk fans- packaging is something else. The box has a magnetic lid and all of the items fit perfectly together. The fans come in stainless steel frames. I really hate to install- no one will see them. Thanks PinMonk!
For you folks still waiting for your game- I thought I waited a long time…not so-relatively speaking. I am mainly a Stern collector, but this game is fun and has the best build quality (absolutely no issues other than flipper fade). Yeah the code is a little shallow, but the new code should be available next year (?).
Cheers!

Quoted from LingBot:

I think I just used needle nose pliers to bend it - the metal piece lifts right off the playfield

Quoted from foxtj24:

I have a mirrored backglass I could let go for what I have into it.

Quoted from big-c66:

Ok so I want mention about the code again after this but here’s my question.
I’ve played it 2 times just for a few minutes and like it. Absolutely beautiful game and I want to pull the trigger and buy one but I feel I’ll get through it pretty quick so does it have last ability or do people get kinda bored with it. I’m buying something pretty quick and I’m leaning towards Elvira or Willy wonka. My grandson wants me to get Godzilla or Advengers infinity quest.
Here’s my games now
[quoted image]

Quoted from midcoastsurf:

If looking to buy used, I would go with an SE (high 6's-mid 7's) or an LE (9's). Had I known LE's were going to come back into the 9's price range, I might have waited an picked up a used LE instead of my SE...although it was fun to have a brand new pin under the tree on Christmas day

Quoted from Tranquilize:

So, I think I know the game well now and can see one major flaw: the adjustments are far too limited.
It would be great if you could remove complete mode option for skill shot.

Quoted from midcoastsurf:

Same here! Happy to wait as long as it takes

Quoted from transprtr4u:

your right .... seemed odd thanks for clarifying !

Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:

What are the thoughts of adding a shaker to this game. Does it enhance the game much? Have one on all my other games, but this is first CGC machine.

Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:

I’ve found the CGC shaker at PBL, do you know the model for the knocker or where to get it? Thanks

Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:

Just got my SE+ today, can anyone tell me if Bart's hat is supposed to reset immediately after it comes off, is seems to be stuck in the up position. Thinking the post connected to the hat may need lubrication?

Quoted from mbeardsley:

Speaking of lockdown bars...has anyone else noticed that the lockdown bars on the remakes (and apparently the lockdown bars being sold by various vendors) don't have the same "feel" as older B/W ones?
The bar on my WH20 (which is right next to my MBr) has a much "smoother" and "rounder" feel to it. The MBr has sort of a "brushed" feel, while the WH20 has more of a "polished" feel.
It's hard to describe, but it's very noticeable. I wish that I could find a source for the smoother lockdown bar.

Quoted from SimplePin:

Yes I've noticed. Can't decide if I'm annoyed or not. Not sure I'll be around in 30 years to see if it smooths out over time! LOL
